You and the team at your digital agency deliver amazing websites for your clients. They look good, they got some traffic, but there’s one major issue. 

They don’t convert. Users visit the pages but they don’t end up converting as much as expected. Why’s that? And most importantly; what can you do?


That’s where I come in. Here are some life-saving tips to help you increase your client website Conversion Rate, or CVR, in no time

6 Tips to Increase Your Client Website CVR

I’ve compiled a list of top tips to improve conversions. 

1- Improve Site Speed And Page Load Time


If you’ve ever clicked on a page that took way too long to load, you know you’re not buying from there. 


No way you’ll wait hours for each step of shopping and checkout. 


Better find another provider. 


So make sure your client’s page load time is
less than 5 seconds (ideally even less than 2) so no buyer will experience this issue on your clients sites. 


To improve page speed you can use a
page speed optimization tool


It's also a good idea to create your site on a
website building platform that’s already optimized for speed

2- Drive Action With Compelling CTAs


If your users have to search the site just to find out how to buy, it’s not good. 


It should be very clear and easy to know what the next step is and how to do it. 


The simpler the better.


Your CTA should live above the fold, no need to scroll to find it. 


It should also be descriptive and specific, no vague “check that” or “click here”. 


Your CTAs should clearly indicate what the next step will be: 

  • Buy now
  • Pre-order
  • Subscribe
  • Sign up


That
website optimization alone can make a world of difference.

3- Align Visual Hierarchy & Messaging


You know your client’s company, what they do, who they are, what they sell.


Buyers don’t. 


It might seem obvious for you, but it’s crucial to focus on the most basic and important information about the company first. 


If your client’s primary business is wedding planning, but the company also does some catering for other types of events, the home page should clearly reflect that they specialize in weddings, with imagery, headers and content that states it clearly. Then further on the page, or in different tabs on the menu, you can showcase their other services.


This way, users won’t be confused as to what the company does and are more likely to stay on the website and ultimately convert. 


4- Incorporate Visual Credentials


A website is not the place to be modest. 


If your clients received awards, partnered with big renowned companies, have important certifications, or any other achievements, showcase it! 


Buyers who don’t know the company yet need this information to know that the company can be trusted.


After all, you don’t want to enter your credit card information on just ANY website do you? 


You can showcase these business credentials with logos or testimonials on the homepage for example. 


5- Run A/B Tests


Sometimes it can be very difficult to know which page layout, color, or CTA will work best.

That’s why A/B testing is crucial. 


You don’t want to make the changes right away and risk a drop in conversions either. 


Ideally use A/B tests on a page with enough traffic to give you a good idea of both version’s performance in a reasonable time (a couple weeks, or a few months top). 


If it takes a year to gather enough visits to have a reliable sample, maybe you can skip the testing on this one and focus your efforts on pages that impact the business more. 


6- Use Retargeting 


Converting doesn’t usually happen right away (unless you’re one lucky cookie).


As a consumer, the more you have to spend, the more you need to think it through and shop beforehand.


That means, if a buyer already visited your client website, they are most likely interested in what they have to sell, but may not be ready to buy just yet. 


So follow them a little, stay top of mind. 


Use retargeting to keep them in the loop and make sure they don’t forget about your client’s brand. 


Retargeting is also a good way to showcase some promotions, coupons, or other incentives to help your visitors come back and convert

Learn how platform ecosystems drive revenue and why they are essential for the growth of SaaS businesses.

One of the greatest challenges for SaaS platforms is keeping users engaged long-term. The term “stickiness” refers to a product's ability to retain users and make them want to return. In the context of SaaS platforms, creating a sticky product means that users consistently find value, experience seamless interactions, and continue using the product over time. The following are 7 practical strategies you can take to improve the stickiness of your SaaS solution. 1. Offer websites that help customers build their digital presence One of the most effective ways to make your SaaS platform sticky is by offering websites to your users. Many businesses today need an online presence, and by providing a platform where your customers can easily build and manage their websites, you increase their reliance on your product. When you offer users a website-building solution, you’re helping them create something foundational to their business. Websites, in this case, aren’t just a tool—they become a part of their identity and brand. This deepens their engagement with your platform, as they need your product to maintain and update their site, ultimately making them less likely to churn. Plus, websites naturally encourage frequent updates, content creation, and customer interactions, which means your users will return to your platform regularly. When you can give your users the tools to create something so essential to their business, you make them more dependent on your platform. This creates a higher barrier to exit, as migrating a fully built website to another service is no small task. In fact, websites are some of the stickiest products you can sell, so adding them to your product portfolio can be one of the best decisions you can to keep your customers using your technology for the long haul. 2. Deliver continuous value through product innovation The key to keeping users coming back to your SaaS platform is ensuring that they consistently see value in it. This means not only meeting their immediate needs but also evolving to address their growing demands. Constant product innovation is essential for keeping your users satisfied and invested in your platform. One way to achieve this is through regular updates that add new features or improvements based on user feedback. A SaaS platform that evolves with its users will keep them engaged longer, making it harder for competitors to steal their attention. Encourage user feedback and prioritize updates that create tangible improvements. This creates an ongoing relationship with your users, which boosts stickiness. 3. Offer a multi-product solution Another powerful way to increase your platform’s stickiness is by offering a suite of products or features that integrate well together. When your users adopt multiple products, they are more likely to stay because they become embedded in your ecosystem. The benefits of this strategy are clear. Research shows that once users adopt more than one product, especially when they integrate >4 tools into their workflow, their likelihood of churn decreases significantly. This happens because the more a user integrates into your suite of products, the harder it is for them to switch to a competitor. These users have invested time in learning your ecosystem and rely on it for their day-to-day operations, making it much harder for them to make the switch. 4. Create a personal connection with your users Human connection is one of the most powerful drivers of user retention. People don’t want to feel like they’re using a cold, faceless platform. By offering exceptional customer support, personalized communication, and community engagement, you build a relationship with your users that goes beyond the product itself. Make sure your support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and empathetic. You can also consider offering tailored onboarding experiences to ensure users understand how to make the most of your platform. When users feel like their success matters to you, they are more likely to remain loyal. 5. Leverage data to personalize the user experience Using data to drive personalization is another strategy that can significantly increase the stickiness of your platform. By tracking user behavior and usage patterns, you can tailor the experience to each individual user’s needs. This could mean recommending features they haven’t yet explored or sending them reminders about tools they may not be fully utilizing. Personalization gives users the feeling that the platform was designed specifically for them, making it harder to walk away from. By demonstrating that you understand their unique needs, you can build a stronger connection and ultimately increase retention rates. 6. Focus on seamless integrations and API capabilities To further increase stickiness, consider expanding your product’s ability to integrate with other tools your users already rely on. Whether it’s email marketing software, CRM systems, or social media management tools, seamless integrations add tremendous value by making it easier for users to incorporate your platform into their existing workflows. The more your product can work in tandem with other popular tools, the more indispensable it becomes. In fact, users who depend on integrations are less likely to churn since their entire ecosystem is tied to your platform’s functionality. 7. Encourage user advocacy and community building User advocacy is another powerful tool in building a sticky product. When users feel a sense of community or even ownership over the platform, they become your most passionate promoters. Encourage your users to share their success stories, join community forums, or contribute to product development through beta testing or feedback loops. A thriving user community not only increases user engagement but also creates a sense of loyalty. When users are part of something larger than themselves, they are more likely to remain committed to your platform, reducing churn and increasing lifetime value. Create deep, lasting customer relationships Making your SaaS platform sticky is all about creating a deep, lasting connection with your users. This requires building a platform that continuously delivers value, creating a seamless and personalized experience, and integrating features that keep users coming back. By focusing on product innovation, offering a multi-product ecosystem, and fostering strong user relationships, you’ll be well on your way to reducing churn and boosting user retention. Stickiness isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential for long-term success. Focus on creating a platform that users can’t imagine living without, and you’ll see them stick around for the long haul.
